How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

With one punch, the ground caved in.

Ye Yueyue dodged it, her pupils contracted, and her gaze lingered on the ground for a moment. "Hiss... If that had hit me, wouldn't I be more than a shard of glass?"

As she paused, the statue launched another attack, which Ye Yueyue dodged at an extreme angle. She took a deep breath to clear her mind.

She popped a pill into her mouth and continued dodging the statue's attacks without pausing for a moment.

At the same time, he was thinking about how to get through this level.

There's no exit, only statues inside, so the only option is to fight?

No, bullying the weak is one thing, I'd even accept being put in a 1v1 situation, but the other two side halls have two older brothers, don't they?

The numbers on the jade pendant suddenly flashed through her mind.

Are you suggesting she take on three opponents at once?

Holy crap, what kind of hellish level is this?

Ye Yueyue took a moment to use her divine sense to perceive the statue's cultivation level, and found that she couldn't detect it. She knew without a doubt that it was higher than her.

Breath hitched.

The statue's attacks became increasingly intense, and she struggled to cope with them.

Ye Yueyue retaliated during a lull in the statue's attacks, only to find that the stone statue was extremely hard and her attacks had no effect.

The gap in their cultivation levels filled her with a sense of powerlessness.

The Bull Demon King is strong in attack and tanky. How can I fight him?

Should we take advantage of her weak and ineffective cultivation?

As time passed, her physical strength declined. Although she kept replenishing her spiritual energy, she could not get rid of the feeling of fatigue.

The statue, however, showed no signs of fatigue and continued its relentless assault.

Faced with the difference in cultivation level, she was in a sorry state and suffered some minor injuries. Just as Ye Yueyue was considering whether to crush the jade tablet, she suddenly heard a somewhat anxious voice.

"Junior Sister Yue?"

She looked up and a look of joy appeared on her face when she saw who it was.

"Senior Brother Sheng, please save me!"

With her attention diverted and her strength gradually depleted, Ye Yueyue was unable to dodge the next attack from the statue.

Upon seeing this, Sheng Ning's pupils contracted, and he immediately stepped forward to block the attack for her.

He pulled the girl behind him to protect her, but the situation was so urgent that he couldn't dodge in time after pulling Ye Yueyue away, and could only take the attack head-on.

The statue's attack grazed past him, but the immense force instantly tore through his snow-white clothes, staining them with blood in vibrant patterns. His face turned pale.

Ye Yueyue felt herself being pulled, and then heard a muffled groan. She looked up slightly and could only see the tall back of the young man.

She keenly sensed that something was wrong, but the statue's next attack was already upon her.

Ye Yueyue cried out and dodged. Even though she dodged most of it, she was still inevitably hit by the aftershock. Due to the difference in their cultivation levels, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Sheng Ning's eyes sharpened, and enduring the pain in her shoulder, she stepped forward to fight him.

Ye Yueyue took the opportunity to hide behind him and caught her breath.

"Junior Sister Yue, is something the matter?"

The young man's voice, tinged with concern, reached her, but the pain in her body sent a chill down her spine. A surge of heat rose in her throat, and she bit her pale lip, barely suppressing the urge. "No, it's nothing..."

Sheng Ning heard the tremor in her voice, his heart tightened, and he intensified his movements. A quarter of an hour later, the statue fell under his fierce attack.

Sheng Ning breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Ye Yueyue.

The girl sat slumped on the ground, her face pale, her eyes filled with tears, her lips pursed, looking utterly aggrieved.

She just stared at him, tears streaming down her face, without saying a word.

She was completely different from her previous bright and cheerful self.

Sheng Ning was momentarily flustered. He strode forward, squatted down, and wanted to check where she was injured, but then stopped, feeling it would be offensive.

"Are you hurt anywhere?"

The young man's gentle, worried voice rang in her ears, and his handsome face showed concern.

She immediately nodded, looking aggrieved, "Mmm."

Ye Yueyue suddenly noticed bloodstains on his shoulder and realized that Sheng Ning was injured. She couldn't see it from that angle just now. Thinking of the scene when he pulled her away, her heart stirred slightly.

"Senior Brother Sheng, are you alright?"

The girl's voice was clearly anxious, and it even sounded like she was about to cry.

"It's nothing." Sheng Ning paused for a moment, then smiled with feigned ease, her gaze falling on the girl's face with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Just as he was about to ask where he was injured, he heard another noise behind him.

Ye Yueyue's pupils contracted, and she shouted loudly, "Senior Brother Sheng, get out of the way!"

Sheng Ning turned around and saw that the statue had stood up again and was attacking him. His eyes narrowed and he started fighting again.

Ye Yueyue stopped crying as she watched.

Holy crap, it's an immortal statue!

Luckily, she had teammates this time, otherwise she would have been playing at the market.

Ye Yueyue swallowed a healing pill, enduring the intense sensation in her throat, and the two of them fought the statue together.

It took a little longer than before for the statue to fall down again.

But before they could even catch their breath, they quickly stood up again.

The two fought fiercely against the enemy, one in front and one behind.

"Junior Sister Yue, you can crush the jade token and leave in a bit," Sheng Ning said calmly, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

"What about my senior brother?" Ye Yueyue keenly understood the meaning behind his words.

"I'm fine."

Sheng Ning said calmly, increasing the pressure in her hand.

The sword intent, imbued with the raging flames, struck out, its intense aura causing the statue to pause for a moment.

"Then I won't go out either."

"Junior Sister Yue, don't be silly."

"I'm not being silly!"

“Senior Brother Sheng was injured while saving me, how could I possibly leave him alone to go out... unless we go out together.”

Her voice trembled with a hint of tears, and her words made Sheng Ning pause.

He looked up at the girl in red, and saw that she was pursing her lips, with tears welling up in her eyes.

A strange feeling welled up in Sheng Ning's heart.

Protecting his junior sister was his responsibility, and as a senior brother with high cultivation, it was only natural for him to do so. He didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so.

But Junior Sister Yue said she wouldn't abandon him.

The feeling coming from his heart was very strong, as if it overshadowed the pain. He lowered his eyelashes and felt the throbbing in his chest.

Sheng Ning raised her head, her eyes softening slightly, and chuckled softly:

"Alright, I'll go out with Junior Sister Yue."

This level is quite tricky. The statue in front of him is a level higher than him. Although Sheng Ning can defeat it, its immortality is a real headache for him.

I had originally planned to try again after Junior Sister Yue left, but it was clearly impossible now.

That's it.

"Senior Brother Sheng! I think I've found a way to defeat it!"

A girl's surprised voice rang out.

He looked up and saw Ye Yueyue smiling and gesturing to him, "Then, I see something like an array plate on its back!"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning changed his position. He was originally facing the statue directly, but he jumped to the side. He glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and indeed saw that the area behind the statue was very strange.
